Imagine Dragons' Release EP Mastered at The Lodge


Imagine Dragons are a 5 piece that hail from Las Vegas with a pretty incredible EP wrapped up under their belt ready to blast your ears and tickle your senses.  After winning a series of battle of the bands, the band got a dream deal at Interscope Records with multi-platinum producer Alex Da Kid taking them under his wing and signing them on his KIDinaKORNER imprint.

Notorious for his incredible hip hop production work with artists such as Eminem, Rihanna and Skylar Grey, Alex Da Kid got the guys in a studio along with Grammy award winning mixing engineer Manny Marroquin (Usher, Mariah Carey, Kanye West) at the helm as well as mixer Rich Costey (Foster The People,The Shins, Muse).  The result is the "Continued Silence EP" released on Valentine's Day and mastered at The Lodge.

The EP is a super charged amalgam of rock, pop, larger than life vocals and blazing synth hooks.  Peep some of the tracks on the band's Soundcloud or buy their new album on iTunes. Imagine Dragons will be performing in a few upcoming live events, including SXSW this coming March! They are not to be missed!

Trust Master Debut Album with Emily Lazar & Heba Kadry


Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski of the band Trust recently dropped a video for their single “Bulbform” off of their upcoming debut album "TRST" (Arts & Crafts).  The album is slated to hit stores on February 28th, 2012. Postepski is known as the drummer/programmer for popular electronic group Austra and is currently focusing her production/writing skills on her new band with Alfons.  Mixed by long time friend to The Lodge, Damian Taylor (Bjork, Prodigy, UNKLE) the album was then mastered by Emily Lazar & Heba Kadry.

"TRST" is a gorgeous album blending in a mixture of rich jarring synths, blazing beats, a little bit of new wave complimented by Alfons' strikingly dark vocals.  Check out the video for “Bulbform” below and their recently BNM'd track "Sulk" on Pitchfork.
